[Footnote K:  An impudent move, in the face of such an attack.]

[Footnote L:  A strong move.]

[Footnote M:  P. to K. B’s 5th perhaps stronger.]

[Footnote N:  Weak.  We cannot see its object.  Why not Q. R. to Q’s sq?]

[Footnote O:  The best move.]

[Footnote P:  Preparatory to Kt. to Kt’s 4th, and then B. to K’s 5th.]

[Footnote Q:  Preventing Black’s contemplated move with the Q.]

[Footnote R:  With a view of withdrawing the B. and playing the R. to R’s 3d.]

[Footnote S:  The first move of a combination, which gave the victory to Philadelphia.]

[Footnote T:  Insures the winning of the Kt.]

[Footnote U:  A powerful move, as it compels Black to take the Kt., and thereby opens White’s R’s file.]

[Footnote V:  If B. takes P., White would have played Q. to K. Kt’s 5th, threatening to check K. and Q. with R., or win the R.]

[Footnote W:  An all important check before taking B., as it prevented an interposition of R. to R’s 4th.]

[Footnote X:  A very attacking move.  Much better than B. to K’s 5th.]

[Footnote Y:  A better move than checking, as it prevented Black’s K. escaping to B’s 2d, and then to K’s 3d.  White also threatened P. to K. Kt’s 4th.]

[Footnote Z:  Black would have lost the R. had they taken the B. by a check at K’s 8th, and afterwards at his 7th.]

[Footnote AA:  The coup de grace.]
